(MENAFN- Live Mint) 2024 ended for Kate Middleton with a heartwarming Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey last week. She was joined by Prince William and their three children. However, this year's event was different as it was her most significant public appearance since finishing chemotherapy in September after a challenging year of health struggles.
“I know how hard it would be to do something like this, putting yourself out there when you may not be feeling 100 percent,” Jenny Powell, a community worker from Abergavenny, Wales, who attended the event, told PEOPLE.
Despite looking her ussual self in a festive red Alexander McQueen coat and sporting her signature blowout, Kate's year-long battle with cancer revealed a subtle but profound change in her demeanor.

This year's concert is designed to celebrate the support people give to one another, especially as they struggle through difficult times, a theme that may have particular resonance for the princess after abdominal surgery and chemotherapy forced her to step back from public duties for much of 2024.
Kate alluded to this in a letter thanking the 1,600 people invited to attend the event because of their efforts to help others in their communities.
